Theatre: Art in Action

Introduction
Like actors, designers and technical crews work hard to bring the action onstage alive. To do this, they design sets, props, lighting, sound, costumes, and makeup. You'll go onto the Internet and review visual representations of a particular scene from A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams and use them to analyze production design, set construction, lighting design, and props.
